I remember it from trying to find a different political simulator that I remember playing one time like... 7 years ago. Actually, that search is what brought me here.

I actually played it back in the day but, uh, let's just say there's a reason I've stuck with this game for nearly 14 years and not Cybernations (and that reason is not 'because Cybernations, while technically still alive, is basically a corpse of a game nowadays from what I've seen')

SPEAKING OF VOLUNTEER REGIMENTS! That reminds me.

You guys want a real NS cliche?

People spending hilariously oversized volunteer or peacekeeping forces into civil wars or violent conflicts in an RP, with no realistic way of keeping a constant supply line nor way of transporting that many people that far away in that short of a timeframe. Like "I send ten thousand infantry and 5 gorillion tanks all with support personnel into this low-intensity conflict that was started because some dude didn't return his neighbor's camel"

Actually, no. Because the people that do this never mention support personnel. They literally just send grunts with no mention of any sort of logistics lmao.

Military RPs are always a clusterfuck.

See, that's why you hire PMCs, they're much easier to keep supplied because they run entirely on the blood of Iraqi children.

People starting indexes and surveys/questionnaires and then just leaving them do die on the vine. I'm falling victim to it myself. I'm just taking a quick break from marking the International Freedom Index entries from June last year. UGH

Military RPs are always a clusterfuck.

Half the people are just FT superpowers with 500 morbillion troops ready to be expended against a modest army which is armed and trained. Another thing is when nations give themselves plot armor and just say "Johndoenia repels the attack from Janedonistan".
Another fucking frustrating thing is when the nations are just way too overpowered and somehow own half the world. It ruins the RP and is the main reason I try distancing myself from the recent summie-esque RPs created by overextended overpowered nations to just shit on the realistic modest militaries.

NS Cliche: Writer's block on factbooks

Also I tried out the foe list feature, and that the user I put as my foe (note I removed them from the list, it was experimental) had none of their posts visible to me (so contrary to what I thought, it ain't like discord where you can manually see individual posts) so I wonder how many ninjas occur as a result of certain nations responding to the AAN because the AN was on their foe's list

If it's a built-in feature, then why doesn't it work? :blink:

To put it simply: because the NS admin team never implemented one of the features of the phpBB friend list into the styles used for the forum (and the other is because of the separation between the forum and game).

Even when implemented properly, the friends list on phpBB is extremely simple and just highlights posts of users you have added, if the forum style you're using supports that feature (obviously meant to contrast with how it hides posts from your foes) and the PM feature built-in to phpBB allows the usage of the friends and foes list to filter your private messages (so you could only allow PMs from people on your friend list, for examples)

Obviously the NS admins never implemented the 'highlight your friends posts' feature into the styles used for these forums and, well, the telegram feature is gameside and completely unrelated to the forums, so the whole 'you can use your friends/foes list as a PM filter' thing isn't a feature either.
